How can I inherit C#'s summary in another class? (like inheriting Javadoc)

Question

Can I use something like Javadoc's {@inheritDoc} in C#.NET ?

F.e. I write summary for interface method and method of implemented class does exactly what I wrote there, so I am copy+pasting atm. which doesn't seem very wise.

Thanks

yup, I see ... actually it looks like they are naturally inherited — Xorty, Dec 29 '10 at 16:09

You can use Xtensive.MSBuildTasks (broken link) to automatically copy the documentation for you.

Another option is Sandcastle that has the <inheritdoc /> tag.

There's an add-on called GhostDoc, which allows you to copy the text with a simple keystroke.
